Generic Packet Sniffer Programming

Generic Packet Sniffer programming video series will deal with the programming constructs of creating a very simple packet sniffer. This sniffer will open a raw socket, bind it to an interface and start receiving packets. Once the packets have been received, a hex dump of the packets will be displayed onto the screen. In short there will not be a protocol level parsing, instead a hex dump of the binary packet will be the output. We will also look at how to put an interface into promiscuous mode, so it can sniff all the packet in the same broadcast domain. It would be advisable to view the Raw Sockets basics presentation before watching this video.
